Keep but substantially cleanup. They band appears to be one of the most well-known bands in Costa Rica per this reference that I found. Also, there is a Malpaís (banda) article on Spanish Wikipedia that I had Google translate, and it gave a lot more info on the band. More independent sources need to be added to this article, and I don't think that each album should have its own Wikipedia page. Un Día Lejano, En Vivo (Malpaís album), Historias de Nadie, and Uno (Malpaís album) should be merged into the main article. NJ Wine (talk) 21:20, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ‣ Per Phil Bridger's links, copious in-depth international coverage stretching back nearly a decade is evident in Google News as well as one good hit each in Google Books and Google Scholar, easily satisfying notability requirements for this topic. --▸∮truthious ᛔandersnatch◂ 02:20, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
